Particle to MySQL Integration

How Datrise loads Particle into MySQL

Datrise syncs Particle's devices, events, variables, firmware versions, product fleets, and device logs into MySQL as a typed table per source entity. Flexible or custom fields land in JSON columns, and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as DATETIME/TIMESTAMP.

Sync is incremental: Datrise uses a watermark on updated-at, applied with INSERT … ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE, so re-runs update only what changed. Optional RANGE partitioning by load date. MySQL collation matters for CRM text, so Datrise lands utf8mb4 to preserve emoji and non-Latin characters.

Ideal for operational reporting and app databases already standardized on MySQL.

Endpoints

Particle: IoT device fleet telemetry and events.

MySQL: Widely used OSS relational engine (InnoDB).

How Particle entities map to MySQL

Particle entity	MySQL object	Notes
devices	`particle_devices`	id PK · custom fields → JSON columns
events	`particle_events`	DATETIME/TIMESTAMP events
variables	`particle_variables`	id PK · linked to particle_devices
firmware versions	`particle_firmware_versions`	id PK · linked to particle_devices

FAQ

How does Datrise handle Particle's custom fields in MySQL?

Flexible values are stored as JSON columns, so new fields don't require a migration; strongly-typed fields — dates, numbers, and references — are promoted to native MySQL types.

How does the Particle to MySQL sync stay up to date?

It runs incrementally — Datrise uses a watermark on updated-at, applied with INSERT … ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE.
